Pros
- Large site with room for significant growth and development. - Only a few hundred staff on site, able to build good relationships with a broad mix. - Great majority of people were polite, friendly and very helpful. - Dynamic and fast-paced environment. - Good remuneration and benefits including company share scheme.
Cons
- Dedication and commitment of staff not always fully recognised. - Motivation of some employees was lacking, reducing team morale. - Accountability for tasks sometimes wasn't explicit, leading to unnecessary workloads or double handling. - Plenty of politics, slow decision making at times and lack of direction. - Internal communication between departments was often delayed or lacking detail. Potential for major technological improvement (e.g live KPIs and Plant Status displayed on TVs in M, SC & QC). Currently old fashioned and behind other companies. - No promotion of training and development opportunities for new and existing staff, except for in EHS. Perceived a general lack of investment in people.
